I am Joe's Updated LJ
Here's the deal kids. Brighton Beach Memoirs is the name of the show. I have a kickass part and it's my first professional anything on stage. It would mean a great deal if you'd all come and see the show. I understand tickets are expensive, so if that's the case don't worry about it. If you're interested and poor, talk to me about comps. All info is at the bottom of the entry.
Next order of business is thank you to all the people in Conant's musical. The show was really good and the fact that you guys invited me to all the parties and treated me like a cast member again meant a ton. Chosing not to do the show because of Brighton was a painstaking decision. I knew I was going to have to go with Brighton right when i got the offer, but you guys are making it so much easier to deal with. I still miss you all like hell and hopefully I'll see you all again Friday night.
On a related note, ISU and Millikin are fighting like hell for me which is great. I'm getting very excited and terrified about the future. I decided I do want to pursue a career on the stage for many reasons, most very personal so I don't wanna post them on here, but one is because I love this more than anything and I want to be one of those lucky few who gets to do it as a job and for the rest of my life.
I dropped math so school is amazing now. I like getting my homework done at school and having time to talk and be with my friends more. I'm realizing how much I'm going to miss everyone. After Brighton lets up and I'll only be busy on the weekends, I plan on working on the musical again. If you play the piano and want to be a part of it, everyone who helped will get credit in the original copy (yes, I plan on this being the best musiKal ever.. haha). We need help writting some accompanyment and stuff, so that will be greatly apprechiated.
As far as the love life goes, well it really is just like I'm in the show, haha. You know who you are, and it meant a lot, what you said to me those nights. I've missed you a lot and the fact that there was even chemistry with us makes me feel great. A second chance would be... wow. But if not, I hope to make this last as long as it can.
Much love to you all. Please see the show. Natalie is an understudy for the young girl roles. If you're lucky you'll get to see her too. She is one of the two most talented girls I know. You'll be seeing her and Amy's name in lights one day.

Life for the Jerome’s hasn’t been easy, but you’d never know it from the tales of 14 1/2-year-old Eugene Jerome. Poverty, depression, war - not to mention the pains of growing up - and you’ve got yourself a real challenge. Through it all, however, the Jerome's stick together as most families would - and when you add Eugene’s constant wisecracks, you get a witty and truly unforgettable memoir.
